Swanky, luxurious flats inaugurated for Members of Parliament: In Pics

Prime Minister Modi inaugurates 76 multi-storeyed flats for Members of Parliament in Delhi on Monday (November 23). The Speaker of Lok Sabha Om Birla was also present on the occasion. According to an official release, these flats are located at Dr BD Marg in New Delhi. 

Eight old bungalows, which were more than 80 years old, have been redeveloped to construct 76 flats.

The construction of these flats has been completed with savings of about 14 per cent from the sanctioned cost and without time overrun despite the impact of COVID-19.

Various green building initiatives have also been taken care of during the construction of these houses. Under this, bricks made from fly ash and waste from construction and demolished buildings have been used. 

Along with this, dual glazed windows for thermal insulation and energy efficiency, energy-efficient LED light fittings, occupancy-based sensors for light control, air conditioners with VRV system for low power consumption, low flow fixtures for the conservation of water, rainwater harvesting system and solar plants have been installed on the roofs of the buildings.
